Biography
Dr. Evdokimov specializes in High Energy Nuclear Physics. She majored in theoretical physics and applied computing for high-energy physics, working towards her Ph.D. at the Laboratory for High Energy Physics at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia). After receiving her Ph.D. from Ivanovo State University in 1999, she started post-doctoral appointment at Purdue University, studying possible formation and properties of quark-gluon plasma at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. In 2001 she was appointed research scientist at Purdue University.
Professor Evdokimov has joined UIC in 2005. She has ongoing projects in experimental study of nuclear matter under extreme conditions with STAR (Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC) experiment. Her physics interests include collision dynamics, particle production mechanisms and jet-medium interactions at RHIC energies. Professor Evdokimov currently holds Deputy Spokesperson position in STAR.
